A8 - Wednesday, April 4, 1984 - North Shore News i mailbox >< Good things from NDP Dear Editor We will be having a Federal election in less than a year and the Conservatives and Liberals are fighting i out. The polls show that the NDP chance 1s lower than it has been for years I think this 1s a pity as the NDP has been responsible for some of the best amenities that we have in Canada. In the nineteen twenties the Farmers Political Party (the first name for the NDP) took ws place in the House of Commons. They held the balance of power and told the government (o pass a bill that would start a Canadian Old Thus started Pension in Age Pension. the Old Age Canada. In 1948, the Saskatchewan government passed the Hospnitahzation Plan and a few years later passed Medicare. They were the first in Canada to do this and pro- bably the first in) North America. When Dave Barrett took over the British Columbian government, one of his first acts was to freeze the farm lands in 1972 and in 1973 his government passed the Agricultural Land Act. The Land Act divided the land in- tO seven Lypes. The establishment of the Old Age Pension and Medicare were for people and the passing of the Land Act was tO preserve our farm tands. They are all equally important. G.R. Hunter Victoria SPRING CLEARING SALE TO 1/ 3 OFF! We couldn't wait.
